I have a 6 year old and we would like a handcycle for him. Anyone know of any companies that sell these for children or does anyone have one for sale?

Team Hybrid designed and built a Kiddy Viper power attachment for wheelchairs and I just checked out their web site and they're designing a Kiddy Coyote, which is a hand cycle attachment for kids. Check it out at...

Email Mark Higgon at Team Hybrid and tell him what you're looking for and I'm sure he'll be more than happy to design something to suit.

Let us know how you get on.

My son had one that attached to his wheelchair when he was about 8, quickie i think. I still have it in the garage and you're welcome to have it for free if you're in the uk. May need a little tlc as he's 24 now.

Thanks so much for that offer. Whereabouts in the UK are you? I am really sorry it has taken me so long to reply! Nat

You will notice that I have changed my username slightly - I had forgotten my password (doh) and couldn't fathom out how to retrieve it!!! But it's still me. Nat
